Love from the Heart of the Home: A Keepsake Book

This book was a gift for my sister who was recently engaged, so I only got to enjoy it for a short time. But I skimmed through it and loved all of the ideas, quotes, recipes, etc. that Susan Branch and her team have to offer. The girls in my family are big fans of Susan Branch; we all collect her calendars, scrapbooking pieces, and now some of her books. She's a great inspiration!

This is a beautiful book to give at a bridal shower or as a wedding gift. There are wonderful drawings and the quotes and sayings are lovely. I especially love the "advice on marriage":When you marry him, love himAfter you marry him, study himIf he is secretive, trust himIf he is sad, cheer himWhen he is talkative, listen to himWhen his quarrelsome, ignore himIf he is jealous, cure himIf he cares naught for pleasure, coax himIf he favors society, accompany himWhen he deserves it, kiss himLet him think how well you understand himBut never let him know that you manage him.Susan Branch is the best.

This is the first book I have bought by Susan Branch and I could not put it down. Her ideas are so wonderful. In fact - I am going to buy every single one of her books. I love the quotes and sayings. There are so many wonderful ideas to share with your spouse. A definite must have.

This keepsake book is a great gift idea for someone who has recently gotten engaged or as an anniversary gift. It has adorable illustrations and the lists are actually useful (traditional anniversary gifts).

I used this book for Valentine ideas for my husband. The steak and potato recipes are divine! My husband loved it! This makes a terrific wedding shower gift, or just a fun b-day present. All Susan Branch books are wonderful and this is one of her best!
